Need a little help finding ways to pay for college? We've listed several websites you can go to for help in finding financial aid or ways to earn scholarships. We have also created a guide for you, Scholarship Tips, to help you in your search.

Financial Aid

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) – This is the application you must fill out in order to receive need-based scholarships, grants, loans, and financial aid from the federal government and the college(s) you apply to. You should submit the application as soon as possible. Your family's taxes should be done or be estimated in order to complete it. Submit it early to be eligible for the most grants and aid! To get a PIN (required to submit your FAFSA), go to their website.
